Be sure to drive according to changing road conditions as our first snowfall has hit the Okanagan . As temperatures go down, thermostats go up, so now is also a good time to check your smoke detectors and all electric, gas, and wood heating devices in your home.

Dragging hose, riding in the truck, and putting out the odd fire is all part of the fun during “Take Your Kid To Work Day.” This is a great opportunity for these kids to see why we all take so much pride in our careers at the KFD!!
